    Digital Desk: Every year on July 29th, people all across
    the world mark International Tiger Day to promote tiger conservation. The day
    supports a global system for safeguarding tigers' natural habitats. It was
    established in 2010 during the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit in Russia when it
    was noted that 97 percent of tigers had vanished. Numerous international
    organizations, such as the Smithsonian Institution, the World Wide Fund for
    Nature, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare, mark International Tiger
    Day.




    Over
    half of the world's wild tigers, or 2,226 them, are found in India,
    according to the World Wildlife Fund. There may only be 250 wild tigers left in
    Malaysia, according to the report, but all of Sumatra is now home to
    Indonesia's surviving wild tigers. The group has also demanded immediate action
    to safeguard the tigers.



    The
    day is observed all over the world by organizing conferences, seminars, and
    conversations on tiger conservation.



    The National Tiger Conservation Authority reports that
    since 2012, 1,059 tigers have died in India, with Madhya Pradesh having the
    highest death toll.
